Title: Who Here Has an Out-of-the-House job?
Post by: gtdoss on January 05, 2020, 07:08:24 am

I guess I was in the full-time workforce for about 16 years before I had my first child. Then I decided to work from home in order to be home with him. My sons are now 22 and 20 years old and I'm still working from home. I've contemplated getting a part-time job suitable for a more mature person (58) outside of my home. Does anyone else have a job outside of their home?  :peace: :heart:

I worked outside of the home my entire adult life but became disabled at 58 and now retired and I live on a limited very limited income and budget but have such mobility issues I can't imagine trying to go out into the workforce again although I could sure use the money.   :moneymouth:

My first job, technically, is an out-of-the-house job. I get an extra bonus that allows me to work from home one to two days of the week if I meet, and exceed, quality and quantity requirements. My second job is a work from home contracting job. My third job has me on the road ninety five percent of the time and my part time job is definitely out of the house. I am aiming to meet the income (made on my third job) through my money making hobbies (dividends, interest, blogging, PTC's, etc.). I love passive income. Just the thought of making money regardless of what I am doing (or not doing) is so exciting. My goals for this year are quite a bit more aggressive, shall not allow me as much sleep, but put me closer to hitting better investment income.

I have a real job.  Do not call taking surveys a job.

I make my money out of the house.  I do more physical labor in the house.

I work as a caregiver in a group home.  4 individuals live there.  2 need daily respiratory treatments and use ventilators.  The other two both have traumatic brain injuries from accidents years ago.  All need assistance with every aspect of daily living.....feeding, bathing, dressing, medications.

Yes. I have a full-time job in office management. However, I am in the process of searching for and transitioning to a more lucrative job.

Yes have been working outside of my home for 43 years and been with the same company for 38 years.  Have always wished that I could work from home but luckily always had family to watch my kids.

I have a full time job outside of the home, but my company does allow you to work at home occasionally.  I usually work at home 3 to 4 times a month and always when they are predicting had weather.
